Andy, and group. Personal beacons are intended for reception by radio amateurs and are not classed as broadcast type signals. Look at your BR68. Er, yes I have actually, and I see paragraph (or is it
Hi All, It seems to me that this transatlantic stuff is stretching the rules somewhat. a) It is difficult to send your callsign every 15 minutes when it takes that longer than that to send your calls
Thanks Alan and Jim, for the replys. G4VGO's site is excellent, and tells me just the things I was trying find out. And Jim's figure of 200ft agrees with the 60m quoted on the site. 73 Hugh M0WYE
Hi All, Does anyone know (or know where I can find out) the maximum height to which one is allowed to fly a kite in the UK (away from airfields) ? i.e. How high could I legally make a kite antenna ?
Hi Dave, That seems to work fine ! ... have you got rain in IO92BK .... we have bright sunshine in JO01LE, but it's windy. I like the Weather site that Ed has found. It shows the bad weather approach
Hi John, If you can pick it up on a LW radio, or other portable RX, maybe you could go walk-about with that and track it down. What you describe sounds very much like the sort of buzzy noise I get fr
Hi All, Anyone know where we can get a good price for some surplus Clydon mica compression trimmers ? Max C about 1000pF We've got 5 boxes of 200 here, new, unused. Hugh M0WYE
Hello Jim, Please may I have a copy of your tuning meter article, via E-mail. I will happily give it webspace at http://www.m0wye.thersgb.net/lf.htm but maybe http://www.wireless.org.uk is a more cen
Hi Andy, The current contract for the Broadcast of the MSF time signal expires in 2007. So I guess it stays on, at least until then. There is a "consultation" process happening at present, you can re
Hi Ian, et al, First can I say how much I enjoy reading Ian's postings - they are always a good read and highly entertaining ! Second. When I started messing about on LF, I was using a TDA2030 Amplif
Hi Rik, Sorry it has taken a few days to reply, but it took me a while to find the article... Peter Martinez, G3PLX, wrote an excellent article about doppler shift and the ionosphere, illustrated wit
Hi Jim, et al, Also sorry to hear about no LF band for US. an allocation to the amateur service could result in the need for PLCs to modify or cease their >operations to avoid causing interference to
Hi Joe, et Group, I'm not familiar with the TLA "CFH". (Although I can tell by the tone of converstaion that CFH is not a "good thing") Can you confirm that it is the callsign of a Naval transmitter
Hi group, Has anyone else tried this with their LF/VLF receivers ? I have put a microphone on my SLM and have been receiving bats. I used a tiny electret condenser mic capsule on the input of the D20
Hi Group, What effect does the LF RF have on the water ? Well, there are some products on the market, which claim to reduce lime-scale in pipes by applying an RF field (or sometimes just a magnetic f
Hi Uwe, We have "allotment gardens". The local council provides small pieces of land on which to grow vegetables, cut flowers, etc. and my wife has now a number of these. Also, you could offer to hel
Hi Joe, What does the Z stand for, is it your local time or UTC ? Also ... my D2006 SLM has a frequency scale which goes right down to zero, and then carries on, with the numbers going back up again.
Hi Alan, Group, Interesting article about BBC R4 LW. Does the fact that there are multiple transmitters on this frequency have any bearing on those who might use the 198kHz signal as a propagation in
Congratulations Jim, and well spotted. It amuses me to think that SAQ now has more listeners than when it was in commercial service. 73 Hugh M0WYE Back in July... Dear LF Group, I have now received a
Hello Bryan, group, I look forward to working the (first ?) 136kHz Maritime Mobile station this coming winter. I assume the maximum height for flying kites is still 60m even when you are on the water
